MarchMarch Madness - Competition is in the air! Find a $ dupe of a $$$ mask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew Drops - May Day lore says to wash your face in the dew you collect in the morning of the first day of May for radiant skin. This month is for absorbing all of that good-for-you H2O.

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks๐Ÿ’—

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@staycalm Great idea with putting the mask in the fridge. I kee mine in the basement and they get quite cold ๐Ÿฅถ. Putting them on can be awakening!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

ohhh that sounds amazing!

 

I have never heard about the brand, but I wanna try it so bad!!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I love trying out new KBEAUTY products โค๏ธ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

#peachandlillyglassskin mask, an AHA/BHA mask so exfoliating and resurfacing mask. It's on sale as part of a kit on their website usually 50$ but 18$ I grabbed it and I'm on 2nd week absolutely love it! Diminishes pore appearance, helps even skin tone, gives glass skin look pluuuuuus it doesn't burn or hurt sensitive skin! I've had compliments on my skin after only 1st use! 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@britbrit12 ahhh this mask sounds incredibly soothing! How wonderful it must have felt to receive compliments after using it, too. It is on my to-try list.

 

And welcome to the thread, happy to have you here!

@britbrit12, youโ€™re talking about the pretty turquoise blue Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask, yes? I loooove that mask! ๐Ÿ˜

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

i made time to mask this morning and did it thouroughly, starting with a nose strip to clear my pores.  I love these Mens SoftyMo oneโ€™s cause they stick really well and are large enough to wrap around the whole nose and the pores around it.  and then I layered an eye mask under a whitening sheet mask.  The Etude House brightening Eye Patch mask was soooo nice!  It was coated in a creamy serum and stuck on very well. My skin under my eyes was noticeably brighter than the rest of my face afterward so these are on a potential repurchase list if it happens to be a product that still exists.   The Sekkisei sheet mask felt a little dry but wasnโ€™t too bad.  It was falling off after about fifteen minutes so I just removed it.  The fabric was on the thicker side with clear powder scented serum so that may have been a contributing issue.  Itโ€™s supposed to be whitening and hydrating.  Hydrating yes, but the eye patches outshone any brightening I would have noticed without them.

@heartsmyface yay to the eye patches, nay to the mediocre sheet mask๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Plus, powder-scented serum soundsโ€ฆnot my cup of tea!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe   Sad cause I had high expectations for it.   Yeah youโ€™d definitely not enjoy it at all then.  

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@heartsmyface I have seen the brand online (at Costco!) and went back and forthโ€ฆultimately back ๐Ÿ˜„ Sounds like a good thing.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@heartsmyface happy to hear you had time to pamper yourself!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

โ€œcreamy serumโ€ @heartsmyface? Iโ€™m in! ๐Ÿ˜ Those Etude House eye patches just went up on my list; they sound perfect for winter dryness or dryness from springtime allergies! 

Interesting about the Sekkisei sheet mask. I tried a different mask from the brand but had a similar experience, minus the powdery scent. I chalked it up to maybe it being closer to its expiration date but now Iโ€™m wondering if their masks are just designed this way? ๐Ÿค” Have you used other sheet masks from the brand?

 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi @heartsmyface 

I would have to agree from my experience. Jbeauty mask sheets seem less full of serum. Not that they're dry but they not overly drenched in them. The material is thicker too. I found that to be the case with some I used when I was in Japan years ago and the ones I pick up here and there, mainly the more older brands. Some of the newer, more modern ones have more serum in the bag.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@elleb810   I havenโ€™t really found that as a general trend with Japanese masks.  Which brands have you tried that were on the drier side?  

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Saborino; Barrier Repair, 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi   They must be just a drier mask cause I think I experienced this before.  I have another of this same one thatโ€™ll get used up today.  I havenโ€™t tried any other sheet mask versions but I do enjoy their Essential Soufflรฉ on my neck and chest for when it gets humid though not on my face.  Itโ€™s hydrating but at the same time feels as though itโ€™s absorbing sweaty moisture? The scent is too strong for my face though- pleasant but strong.  Itโ€™s very similar to that of nivea hand cream.  
The Etude House was a real pleaser.  If you can get your hands on it DO!  

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

We're so behind on posting. I'll try to put them all together in one post. I am sorry for the long post. 

Fruit and Frudia.JPG

From last month, F for Frudia and fruit, G for grape and targeted masking - the mask is said to minimize appearance of pores, tighten skin, and improve skin texture. Lots of watery essence but not drippy.

HE SAID: The scent is so much better on this one than that other one we used. This smells like grape candy. I like grape candy. My face felt moist but I'm not sure about my pores - my wife said they look smaller. 

 

SHE SAID: Sweet, grape candy smell, maybe grape Jolly Rancher. Skin felt soft, smooth and looked a little brighter, more awake. My husband's pores on his nose looked smaller.

 
Flower.JPG
Also last month. F for flower - rose. This was a very thin mask, watery essence, said to brighten and hydrate

HE SAID: Skin looked less red and felt hydrated so that's good, but it also felt sticky - I don't like my face sticky. Sure hope my wife likes this one because I don't know if I'd want to use it again. Doesn't smell so good either - not like roses at all.
 
SHE SAID: Doesn't smell like roses; smells like baby powder. Like the thin material. Skin felt lightly hydrated but not enough for my dry skin this time of the year. Maybe it will work better when the weather warms up. I'd give it a try then, but I like the Etude House 0.2mm Rose mask so much more.
 
HE SAID: Yes, baby powder, that's what it smelled like. Not the good kind either. Yes, that Etude House rose mask was good. All those were good. 
 
Jelly and Kina.JPG
Last week's mask - J for jelly and K for Kina
 
HE SAID: I'm not liking these ones much. Too goopy and sticky.

SHE SAID: Feels refreshing on the skin; love the thick gel serum - leaves my skin feeling nourished.
 
HE SAID: Oh this is good. If you like it, these are all yours. I can't with the sticky.

Your 'he said, she said' mask sheet reviews are awesome! LOOOOOVVE. Also, love that your husband masks so frequently with you. Mine will occasionally but he just shrugs when I ask him for his thoughts on a mask. lol.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missy94612 I know I have said this before, but I just love your โ€œHe said/She saidโ€ posts! The Frudia one with its Jolly Rancher scent sounds especially appealing ๐Ÿ˜‹

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missy94612 I really feel like the purple frudia mask you guys used had to be compromised in some way because when I used it, it smelled divine!! Great reviews on these

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missy94612 Anything that smells like grape gets immediate approval from me:D
